Compatible Thermal Printer For Fedex Labels

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This label printer was simple to set up and get started with. I love that it auto-senses the size of the labels when you load them, so you don't have to configure the software for the labels you select. Switching rolls of labels is fairly simple. This is a direct thermal label printer, so the labels do fade over time, especially if exposed to sunlight (compared to the longer-lasting, thermal transfer labels from much more expensive printers). The labels look fresh and crisp when newly printed and are great for printing postage or shipping labels. The compact size means it's always ready to go without taking up much desk space. Great value and a quality product!

I initially bought the QL-800 because it was an inexpensive thermal printer and I am starting a home-based business on the cheap. With just using the sample rolls of labels and tape, I was very impressed with the quality printing and ability to have red too, instead of just black on the labels. It's very easy to swap out the roll for tape or labels.

I like the fact it does labels up to 1" wide and the software version is much better than the old version I had for an earlier PC compatible Brother Printer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brother thermal labels print a crisp image that easily peels from the backing. This size is ideal for return address labels on large envelopes. I also printed organizational labels and then cut to size. I plan to buy more sizes for future projects. They come in a large variety of sizes and are easy to install into my QL1100 Brother printer.

Love printer and easy to change labels!

Needed a short cable to connect thermal printer to computer. Functions well.

The motherboard turned out to be completely compatible with the system I was building. One flaw though is the flimsy I/O shield. The labels of the various ports are extremely difficult to read, being simply etched into the metal without visible contrast. The edges are sharp to the extent the my finger was cut while installing it, and a prong on it appears to have bent so as to block the particular port. MSI does a much better job of labeling.

I upgraded my old Brother MFC-9970CDW to the new MFC-L8900CDW this weekend. It was being shipped FedEx and was scheduled to be delivered on Monday, but I called FedEx and was able to pick it up on Saturday. I spend about an hour configuring all the options, installing additional paper trays (1 250-sheet and 1 500-sheet), and testing the printer. It's a big improvement over the MFC-9970CDW, which was a workhorse in our home office. The printer is much quieter than my old one and when compared to other brands. There is a quiet setting that makes it even quieter, but this occurs at the sacrifice of some speed. The fax machine is pretty standard for all faxes. I was able to fax without difficulty using the normal compatibility setting via a Cisco adapter that converts analog to IP for RingCentral. I am very impressed with the L8900CDW's ability to customize scan functions. Perhaps this was present on the 9970CDW and I didn't explore it. I have mine configured with icons to scan to my iMac's desktop, scan to my personal email, scan to my wife's email, or send to a fire department where I'm medical director. Also, the Amazon Dash Replinishment service isn't active. This printer isn't listed as a supported model. I emailed Brother USA and was advised it is too new to be listed and will be listed soon. Overall, this is a great printer. One of the best multi-function machines you could buy. I highly recommend it!

Excellent product! I so excited that I finally bought my own printer. I recommend everyone that's been going to FedEx Kinko's and having your friends and family print out papers for you to buy one of these!

The label printer is easy to use and very fast at printing stamps or labels.
